Installation Instruction of Headlight Cover

For DIY Enthusiasts:

We encourage those with hands-on skills to attempt self-installation. If unsure, please visit an auto repair shop for professional assistance.

Step-by-Step Guide

Using an Oven (Recommended):

  1. Remove the rear cover and bulb from the headlight assembly.
  2. Place the headlight in an oven preheated to 80°C (176°F) for 10 minutes to soften the adhesive.
  3. Gently separate the lens from the housing.

Using a Heat Gun (Alternative):

  1. Heat the sharpest corner of the headlight with the heat gun, section by section.
  2. Once the adhesive softens, carefully insert a flathead screwdriver to pry it open.
  3. Caution: Do not overheat (risk of damaging the housing). Stop heating when the surface feels warm to the touch (test with gloves).

Separating the Lens:

  1. Once heated, quickly and forcefully pry open the corner. Pull hard! (Wear non-shedding gloves.)
  2. If resistance occurs, reheat the area and repeat. A skilled user can complete separation within 1 minute.

Preparing for Reassembly:

  1. Clean residual adhesive from the housing’s glue channel thoroughly.
  2. Transfer decorative trim from the old lens to the new one.

Applying New Adhesive:

  1. Cut the tip of the provided glue tube at a 45° angle (adjust cut size if glue flow is insufficient).
  2. Fill the glue channel to 50%-70% height with a continuous bead.

Reassembling the Lens:

  1. Align and press the new lens onto the housing.
  2. Excess glue can be left to dry and later trimmed with a blade. Wipe off any glue residue on the lens surface with a cloth.

Curing & Final Steps:

  1. Air-dry the assembly in a well-ventilated area for 3-5 days before reinstalling.
  2. Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing it to rain for 1 week to prevent water ingress.

Safety Notes

  • Always wear heat-resistant gloves.
  • Work in a well-ventilated area.
  • Do not rush curing—patience ensures a waterproof seal.
